Every Subaru owner I've spoken to loves their car... But then half of them report back that they regret their purchase when the engine blows out.

And a buddy of mine who runs an auto shop told me that buying a Subaru is like tossing a coin: heads you get a great car that lasts for years and hundreds of thousands of miles, tails you get a complete lemon. And there's not much in between.

This is also what many Lemmy folks told me the last time I asked about recommended cold weather all wheel drive used cars to consider. Also that quality has declined.
